Where did Robert Vegas Bob Swetz's 'kind-heartedness'' come from? 6-22-2014

 

Where did Robert Vegas Bob Swetz's 'kind-heartedness' come from?
 
Robert Swetz's kind-heartedness' all started at the very young age of six years old. Robert's father started sharing with him love, kindness, honesty, etc, before he was six years old. But is wasn't till Robert's parents divorced around the age of 6 that Robert really started developing a kind heart.
 
At the age of six, Robert and his older sister would go up to their grandparents cabin on the lake. Robert's grandfather was from Czechoslovakia and his grandmother was from Sweden. Robert's grandfather loved fishing and his grandmother loved God, nature and living things.
 
Robert's grandmother was diagnosed with polio at the very young age of two. She had a leg braise so it was very difficult for her to get around. Robert's grandfather had to pick her up to put her in the car, pick her up to put her in bed, etc.
 
But this never stopped Robert's grandmother from loving life. She would tell Robert everyday that people, animals and all living things were 'Gods Creatures' and they all have a part in God's plan. Robert's grandmother use to feed the chipmunk's, hummingbirds with red sweetened juice and and anything that was living.
 
Robert's grandmother, grandfather, father & sister had all developed kind hearts from either their ancestors or God himself. So Robert's heart followed with the rest of his family.
 
Robert's grandmother passed away around the early 1980's and Robert's grandfather passed away in 2003. 
 
Robert's 'kind-heartedness' continues to this day and he tries to pass it on to his children and people that surround him.

Robert, with so many fractured families today the disconnect from child to grandparent will inevitably continue to widen.   A slight pause in our busy lives to reconnect the two may provide enough knowledge for both to learn and endure.  We may have been the last generation to fully do so!

Hello Kevin ... Thanks for stopping by, you are so right and yes ... we may be the last generation to do so! Reason being, most children have developed a disliking for older persons ... they don't think they can learn anything from someone that's older!

Hi VB, your garnd mother sounds like a wonderful person and she obviously did not let polio stop her from enjoying life.

Thanks for the feature.. I do believe Yolanda and I have been to the car exhibit at what was the Imperial Palace in Vegas and it was several years ago. We do like to go to vegas and will look you up when we make it there..
